The World Highest Peaks

There are 14 more than Eight thousand
peaks in the world, 5 are in Pakistan 8 are in Nepal, and one is in china,
these famous peaks are the world attraction for climbers trekkers and mountain
lovers.
The famous peaks are lying on these mountain ranges of different countries in
Asia.

The above mentioned peaks are climbed
bravely from different time, Goodwin Austen and his party has a great
contribution, also T.G Mentugmeries and Rcf Shamberg who have Explored the
great mountain ranges in Asia.

We are thankful to the Italian
Expeditions and Explorers with wham’s Excellent work the world attraction
composed to these mightily peaks. However Achille Compagnoni Lino Lacedelli.
The first climber of K-2 and Harman Buhl, the first climber of Nanga Parbet
cannot be forgotten until and unless the mountaineering Expedition will exist,
Or those Expeditions who have climbed these peaks con not be forgotten in the
next Generations until when this interest will end.

The pride has been received by many
Pakistanis, which the majorities are from Hunza valley.
Most probably there are many Pakistan or European, young generation, who are
interested to climb these peaks, Due to Economic reasons they cannot
afford. The future of these are very bright for tourism industry to help
people in the Remote Area in Asia.

It is true that the Economy can be up
graded with tourism industry in Asia as well as in Pakistan.

Neelum Valley (also spelled Neelam Valley) (Urdu: وادیِ نیلم ‎) is a 144 km long bow-shaped thick forested region in Azad Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistan Administered Kashmir. It is named after the Neelum river, which flows through the length of the valley.

The valley is situated in the north-east of Muzaffarabad, running parallel to Kaghan Valley. The two valleys are only separated by snow-covered peaks, some over 4,000 meters (13,000 ft) above sea level.

The valley is connected from Muzaffarabad by Neelam road, which leads up to Kel. The road condition from Muzaffarabad to Athmuqam is very good and suitable for any kind of transport. From Keran to Kel road condition is not well and not suitable for low floor vehicles. In winters road onward Keran is blocked due to heavy snowfall and it is very difficult to reach upper parts of the valley.
